Association of structured continuum emission with dynamic aurora.

Patterns of ionospheric luminosity provide a unique window into our complex, coupled space environment. The aurora, for example, indicates plasma processes occurring thousands of km away, depositing immense amounts of energy into our polar ionospheres. Here we show observations of structured continuum emission associated with the dynamic aurora.

Differences in Nurse Practitioner Work Effectiveness by Level of Education and Work Experience.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of educational level, work experience, and other demographic factors with the perceived impact of nurse practitioner role effectiveness.

Background: Nurse practitioners (NPs) bring value by impacting patient and organizational outcomes in multiple ways. Employers report difficulties differentiating between how MSN- versus DNP-educated NPs affect patient and organizational outcomes.

Additively manufactured plastic plasma spectrometer.

We report results in the development and testing of a low resource tophat electrostatic analyzer (ESA) for space plasma measurements. This device has been additively manufactured (3D-printed) using fused deposition modeling. The classic tophat design is composed of four plastic pieces, without any surface coatings.
